March 11, 2023 – This next Friday, I will be bringing my 11 year old daughter to see the performance. She is a 3rd generation Tetelestai viewer. My mother and father hosted cast members to stay at their house in the early 80’s, and I remember helping the last time the performance was in Ashland in 1992. I keep up with the team every year and am looking forward to seeing the performance again this year. I pray for all of your health and care while you travel throughout this Lenten season. We LOVE Tetelestai! – Benjamin
Apr. 2, 2022 – Many years ago, I was in Tetelestai with my family! My brother in law, Jason Beedlow, played Jesus for years. We were able to take our 1 daughter to see it when she was 8. We since moved to the state of Washington. We were thrilled to watch the Livestream and share it with our younger daughter! And to see Jason, Lisa and Joey, family perform! Well done all! Keep blessing others with your ministry – Michael
Mar. 19, 2022 – I love Tetelestai, it truly is a prayer performance. I love that after the performance we get the chance to meet all of the actors. I have met all of you and there are truly not enough words to even begin to express the kindness and the love of Our Lord Jesus Christ that shines so brightly through your prayer performances. It is always a very powerful experience for me personally, I truly feel like I am right there living in Jesus time. All of you are truly phenomenal! It is a true blessing and great gift to have the opportunity to see Tetelestai. God bless each and every one of you and your families – Connie
Mar. 12, 2021 – We have hosted Tetelestai a couple of times, and have had cast stay at our house. When I read scripture, I hear the cast singing in my head. It has brought the scriptures alive for me. I pray that we all will be able to be with each other soon. I miss our community of Christians – Laura
Apr. 25, 2020 – Wonderful! Michael
Mar 31, 2018 – I try to get to the show everytime it here . I just love how you all take a part in this to make it wonderful to see … I just love this show. Thank you all for doing this show… it Great. – Robin
Mar. 20, 2018 – I drove my family from Akron to Hubbard to see this show. It was memorable. My granddaughter is 2.5 and enjoyed the show. We’re raising her and she’s very much a church loving little girl. Love love love – Susan
Feb. 27, 2018 – I was in Tetelestai years ago. I am thinking of you all as you begin your 2018 journey. My prayers are with you all. God Bless.❤❤❤❤ – Judy
Jan. 23, 2018 – The performance is awesome. The performers are very humble and radiate God’s love. I loved the performance, but sharing time after with the cast is very touching. May God continue Blessing each and every one of the cast. Looking forward to 2018 schedule. Thank you, Arlene
April 8, 2017 – I found Tetelestai to be a powerful moving musical. With great sound effects, singing and excellent presentation. I had watched it in 1977 and again yesterday at Lakewood Methodist Church. I was amazing at the number of staff that included men and woman of all ages, as well as children. I would love to know more about this powerful musical ministry! Yours in Christ, Jean
April 2, 2017 – Very moving and uplifting, and wanting me to draw even more closer to our Lord – David
Mar. 13, 2017 – This is the seventh time we have experienced the story, and it just gets better and better. I was moved to tears.
Mar. 5, 2017 – I am a former cast member and send prayers for a great season. Hopefully I will be able to see the show next year with my grandson – Alta
Apr. 12, 2016 – Hi there 🙂 I saw your play and I think it is amazing 🙂 I appreciate your ministry as it causes people to realize what Jesus did for us. It’s so great during Holy Week I hope that this drama runs forever 🙂 Jo
Mar. 20, 2016 – Thank you all for a wonderful performance at First United Methodist Church in Elyria this weekend! I look forward to this every year because your ministry helps put me in the right frame of mind during the season of lent. God bless each of you in the cast and crew for sharing your time and gifts. You don’t know how special you are to those you touch with your prayerformance – Terri
Mar. 7, 2016 – I see Tetelestai lots of times and normally i see it 2 or 3 times a season. I seen it on the 26th of February. and something seems different. i did not get the spiritual feeling that i use to get. I didn’t like all the yelling during the nailing Jesus to the cross. This makes me not want to see it next year at all. I don’t know what you all did different this year but the spiritual aspect that i grew use to and loved so deeply is gone. I don’t think who ever directed this year has done it justice. You dont change what is not broken. and I think the Tetelestai is broken right now. It not about the theatrics of the performance, it should be about the spirit of the performance. Please fix this. i love how it use to be but this year just simply sucked – Jennifer
Mar. 5, 2016 – I watched the first half and part of the second half tonight at the Lafayette Methodist Church. I left early…not because it wasn’t good, but because it was so brilliantly effective, I couldn’t bear to watch Jesus suffer another second. The music and lyrics were incredibly professional and profound. Both Jesus and Judas were very convincing, and the duet by the Priests was outstanding in every way. The costumes and lighting, sound, everything were deeply moving. There was so much love in the room. I have seen Passion plays in Virginia, and California, even in Mexico…but this was memorable in special ways. Thanks for the incredible effort and brilliance of your most wonderful group. I was touched deeply – Linda
Feb. 28, 2016 – Well done, faith building – Barb
Feb. 8, 2016 – I loved the show and thought it was awesome. And it was really nice to meet some of the actors afterwards. And I would love to see it all over again. I thought that all the actors/actresses did an amazing job. And If ever possible go back and see it again maybe next year. And meet the actors again since they were really nice. 🙂 Ellena
Mar. 19, 2015 – A most spiritual experience – Roe
Mar. 2, 2015 – Saw your prayerformance at St. Michael this past Sunday. I used to be in the cast a few years ago and can only say how awesome that you all are year after year. The man who plays Judas this season really knocked me over with his powerful voice and emotion he put into the role. I miss you all and I am hopeful to return next season as part of the crew – Barb
Feb. 26, 2015 – I miss everyone. I have been praying for all of you. May the Lord bless you and guide you on this day. I love seeing everyone. I can’t wait to see you all. Love you all. Peace and joy of our Lord Jesus Christ – Elizabeth
Apr. 5, 2014 – This was the first time and all I can say is WOW! Will definitely spread the word – Barbara
Mar. 29, 2014 – I attended Friday nights performance. First time. Was very impressed with the play. Very well presented and the actors did a good job. Not too impressed with the selection of music at times because it distracted from the emotional meaning of the passion. But I will recommend it to others 🙂 – Lisa
Mar. 21, 2014 –The performance is out of this world. I look forward to this every year. Then being able to meet the performers after is so humbling. Everyone is so very nice. God Bless each and everyone of you – Arlene
Mar. 14, 2014 – Thank you to the cast and crew. I was invited by the Karbowiak Family and saw fliers at our Church and postings on their Facebook page. What an Excellent performance on March 1 at St. Barnabas Church. Our Family and a friend were Blessed by this opportunity. I would also appreciate being one of the 10 winners. I posted it on my Facebook page and Liked your page and link – Angela
Mar. 2, 2014 – I attended the Tetelestai performance at St. Barnabas on Friday, February 28th … a powerful, moving production. Thank you to the cast and crew for your time and talent. Blessings to you all as you continue over the next several weeks – Susan
Mar. 1, 2014 – Great performance tonight (3-1). Had the privilege of introducing a friend to Tetelestai and she loved it. Thank you for all you do – Wendy
Feb. 27, 2014 – I haven’t seen Tetelestai for quite a few years, but looking forward to going to Ridgewood Methodist Church in April. God bless you for all you do – Mary

Dec. 13, 2013 – Cannot wait for our auditions this weekend!! See ya there!!
Apr. 5, 2013 – It was awesome. I really enjoyed it plus towards the end I got teary eyed. Will want to view it again, when you come back to Kent Methodist Church next year. Hopefully you return. God Bless you and your performing crew. Again it was very uplifting. Thanks!
Mar. 30, 2013 – It was so awesome!!!! The interpreters were so excellent for the deaf.

Mar. 8, 2013 – Your performance is inspiring and compelling.
Feb. 25, 2013 – I saw the performance Saturday, Feb. 23 – GREAT SHOW! Every year I see it I can’t help but feel so lucky and blessed that I was a part of the ministry so many years ago and every year I wish I was back on that stage with you all! GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!
Feb. 18, 2013 – I have seen your performance many times during the 80’s and 90’s; however, I am now living in Rocky Mount, NC and have only my tape to listen to. I was wondering how far south your troupe would travel to share your Lenten performance with the people of the south.
Feb. 17, 2013 – Just came home from St. Paul, NC performance! Awesome is not even close to what I want to say. I often wonder how the cast member that has the role of “Jesus” feels as he portrays The Lord. Thanks for all the effort put into this magnificent show.
Feb. 11, 2013 – Yesterday was the third time I was able to watch the amazing prayerformance and it always brings me to my knees. I am so grateful to be able to view this heart felt retelling to our Lord’s Passion.
Feb. 10, 2013 – I loved seeing your show for the first time and am already planning on seeing the show next year. Also I am thinking about joining your set up crew – Ray
Jan. 20, 2013 – I miss you all. Praying for you as you get nearer to opening weekend. See you you at a few performances. Loving!! these grandchildren, but a season without Tetelestai leaves a void in my heart. Peace to all – Lani ♥
